Originally released in August 1981 The Replacement’s debut, Sorry Ma, Forgot To Take Out The Trash, is a classic punk-rock album. Loud, fast and definitely concise, its 18 songs contain the raw energy, irreverence and adolescent disdain that defined the band’s aesthetic from this period. More than a typical punk album Sorry Ma..., also showcases the elements that separated The Replacements from other punk rock bands of the time, including an affection for traditional melodic rock and Westerberg’s ability to capture and communicate his personal experiences and emotions. There may be no better expression of suburban boredom and desperation than this album. Whether writing about the unrequited love of a clerk at the convenience store or something as simple as standing on the corner, Paul honestly and successfully captured the experiences of teens everywhere.
